COMMENTS

A132868(n)-a(n)=A128834(n) (discovered in 1995).

FORMULA

Also a(n)-3^(n+1)=hexaperiodic 1, -1, -3, -1, 1, 3; cf. A132951.

O.g.f.: -(1-x+3x^3)/[(3x-1)(1+x)(x^2-x+1)]. a(n)=-(-1)^n/12+3^(n+1)/4+A057079(n+2)/ 3. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Apr 04 2008

a(n)=(1/6)*{1/2-(1/2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n+(3/4)*3^n-(1/12)*(-1)^n+(1/6)*{1/2+(1/2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n-(1/ 6 )*I*{1/2-(1/2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n*sqrt(3)+(1/6)*I*{1/2+(1/2)*I*sqrt(3)}^n*sqrt(3), with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jun 09 2008

CROSSREFS
